[October 2015] I have been eating here several times since my last visit, but I feel like the taste has been declining. This time, I went around 8:40 on Saturday and it was still not crowded, so I bought salt bread for 86 yen, Campagne du Pain for 288 yen, Mitsu Hime's Rustic for 145 yen, and cream donut for 134 yen. After buying groceries at the Co-op and passing by the store on my way back, I was shocked to see that it had closed... The lights were off, the sign saying "we are closed today" was out, and the proof of work was gone, but the bread was left as it was. Not in a bag, not covered with a sheet, just left on the table... I was tempted to take a picture of it. I'm not sure if the bread I bought this time was left like that, but I think the way they handle their own products without a care reflects in the taste. Therefore, I am revising my evaluation downwards. Overall 3.3→Not rated Taste 3.3→3.0 Service 3.0→2.5 [May 2013 Revisit] I went to Co-op Sapporo Higashi Muroran store after a long time, so I also visited Le Bon. I bought Hotel Bread (freshly baked) for 540 yen, Croissant for 140 yen x2, Noel for 220 yen, and Garlic Ficelle (freshly baked) for 170 yen, and took half of them to my parents' house. I asked them to cut the Hotel Bread in half and put it in a bag for me. This was my first time trying the Hotel Bread here. It looks similar to the 550 yen bread from Sanso, but the butter flavor and sweetness are much milder. The texture is coarse, lacking in richness, and the bread seems a bit directionless. The Croissant felt like the same dough as the Hotel Bread but baked in a different shape. I didn't try the Noel, so I can't comment on that. The Garlic Ficelle, I thought it was a French bread, but the dough was spongy and strangely stretchy. It felt like the packaged French bread from my childhood. The baguette I had last time was delicious, but unfortunately, I didn't like any of the three items this time. I have slightly revised my evaluation from last time. Taste/Overall ★3.4→3.3, Value for money ★3.3→3.0 (I only made a slight downward revision because the baguette was delicious last time, but I felt these were lower quality) [Additional note] A few days later, I toasted the Hotel Bread that had hardened in the refrigerator. It became crispy and light, making it easier to eat. It's a fluffy bread with less flour, so toasting it saved me the trouble of spreading butter. Perhaps this bread was meant to be eaten this way. [Initial post February 2013 (visited in January 2013)] This is a bakery at the entrance of Co-op Sapporo Higashi Muroran store. I bought Ardennes for 190 yen and Baguette for 240 yen, but I gave the Ardennes to my parents and didn't eat it. Sari, also known as Kumataro, told me that the baguette at Le Bon Kutchan store was delicious, but Kutchan is far away, so I bought it here. Indeed, for a supermarket tenant, the bread was quite tasty. In France, there are rules regarding the length, weight, and number of cuts for different types of bread, but in Japan, it seems to be more flexible. Not just here, but it's rare to find French bread that follows all the rules. This baguette is on the thicker side and slightly shorter, so those who like the crispy crust of a baguette may find it lacking. The baking temperature...
